Meeting Description:

Workplace communication comprises many different settings: face-to-face
meetings between co-workers, online interactions between experts, service
encounters in different professional fields as well as technical or business
communication to mention just a few examples. The common nominator to these
setting is that they are connected with professional roles and identities and
interwoven with institutional practices. We call for presentations, workshops
and paper proposals for interactive paper session that interconnect for
example with the following topics related to workplace communication:

- Working life communication in the context of leadership, management,
marketing and technology
- Digital media and working life
- Languages, discourses and/or communication skills in working life and
academia
- Change, crisis and risk communication
- Methodological and ethical challenges of working life communication
(research)

The Symposium’s keynote speakers are:
- Dr. Cornelius Puschmann (Hans Bredow Institute for Media Research, Hamburg,
Germany)
- Prof. Dr. Andrea Whittle (Newcastle University, Newcastle, United Kingdom)

The working languages of the symposium are Finnish, Swedish, English and
German.


Call for Papers:

Participants may contribute with a presentation (20 min + 5 min discussion) or
a paper for the interactive paper session (3 min). In the interactive paper
session the participants can present their research ideas or present their
research projects in a way of a ‘pitch talk’, which will be discussed in small
groups after the presentations. We also welcome proposals for workshop topics.
The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a less formal
setting to exchange intellectual ideas and to share practical experiences on
focused topics. Please submit your proposals (max. 300 words) for workshop

message your name, your affiliation, whether your proposal concerns a section
presentation, the interactive paper session or a workshop presentation. Also
mention if you are giving your presentation together with someone else. The
papers will be selected based on the scientific quality of the abstract.
